Texting

[ScarberianMPTGLParticipant 3286]

Yeah, I even have a buddy who literally does not go more than 30 seconds before I see his phone in his hand, checking something or texting someone or replying to a post etc. Even in his car he’s texting away. I swear, next time we’re hanging out and he’s driving, if I even see that hand going towards his phone I’m taking it and throwing it in the backseat.

I use text for very brief necessary communication. I have one male friend who can sometime send me numerous unnecessary texts. I generally don’t bother reading them and rarely, if ever respond to him.

"Women are directly adapted to act as the nurses and educators of our early childhood, for the simple reason that they themselves are childish, foolish, and short-sighted—in a word, are big children all their lives, something intermediate between the child and the man, who is a man in the strict sense of the word. Consider how a young girl will toy day after day with a child, dance with it and sing to it; and then consider what a man, with the very best intentions in the world, could do in her place.” Quote from Arthur Shopenhauer, 17th century philosopher

here’s an idea.
shut off your phone for 1 week.
.
pick it up and turn it on.
the texts and voice mails will tell you a lot.
.
90% of the people texting you are NOT your’e friends.
treat them as such.

The problem I found over the years with texting is that can’t easily verify who you’re talking to and people (especially women) don’t see the need to protect the integrity of the conversation. I’ve actually had a number of incidents in the past where I found or found out later that I wasn’t talking to the owner of the account, or that there it was a group of people when it was assumed to be private.

So no more of that. Texting me is now a privilege you have to earn and subject to my terms of service. You violate it, you lose it.

If someone needs to find me they can either call on the phone, or show up in person. With the exception of business purposes. I like knowing who I’m talking to.

Text messaging is a great way for remote computers to send you alerts for when they need human intervention.

But for human to human communication? A text message is essentially a telegram on your telephone. There’s a reason why telephones replaced telegrams: the spoken word is more communicative than the written word. Use the telephone as a telephone.

[ResidentEvil7Participant 9604]

I never understood the obsession with reading messages over talking to someone. I only text a friend to tell him when it’s alright and not alright to call me. I don’t believe in texting conversations, because I believe it harms verbal communication skills which you do need to do well in this world. If you can’t talk right to people how do you expect to exist well in this world? No one is going to hire someone who talks like an idiot. Another reason I don’t like texting or online talk is because people purposely misspell and use acronyms which need special translating. I don’t know why this texting and online messaging thing got started but it doesn’t do anyone any good. People are texting while driving and then they wonder why they get into an accident. It’s because you’re not paying attention to the road, you’re paying too much attention to the f~~~ing phone, idiot! My best friend almost got hit by a car because he was paying more attention to the phone than what was going on around him; he couldn’t get off the damn thing! He was obsessed with the damn phone! By the way, it’s VERY rude to be glued to a phone while you’re with someone who drove out to hang out with you!

Well I kinda explained the benefits of texting or email over phone. Calling someone does have its place, but texting/email (writing a letter back in the old days) does as well. When you read a text and answer it the same way, you’re doing so on your own time, when you have time. Calling someone requires both parties to be available and talking at the same time. Because it’s a more formal method of communication, there are situations where you might text someone where you might not call them instead.

Example, your brother drove to the beach to go surfing or tanning. You’re idly wondering how’s the weather. Simply text him, and he’ll answer when he has time. If you call him, and he drops everything to answer you or check his voicemail, and you tell him you was just curious how’s the weather, he may be like “WTF? you called me for that while I’m at the beach?” OTOH, if you really wanted to know the details of his day, the surf, the beached whales, etc, you could call him instead of engaging in a 20 text “discussion”

Likewise, emailing has its place in the workplace along with calling or meeting in person.. Different situations are better for different things.

Texting is so much better than calling people. I can be doing anything and spend 20 seconds sending a text rather than pick up a phone and waste 20 minutes of my life speaking to someone

fair enough women take their phones to the extreme but I find my mobile very useful

[ResidentEvil7Participant 9604]

Yeah, well I like being able to talk to a human being, and not read a message full of deliberate misspellings and acronyms that I need to translate. People who text and message online have no idea that they could be harming their verbal communication skills which you need in this world.

Except for text messages relating to business/professional, I just don’t do texts…EVER.

There is nothing on a personal level that merits it, for me, either sending or receiving.

If the personal situation is important, than it is worthy of a f~~~ing phone call at minimum. A text to agree on said phone call, if schedules are hectic for both parties is acceptable, but that’s it.

Needless to say, I seldom have anyone wasting my time or theirs.

I have a mixed opinion about texting. It’s on the bright side for me on the face value but if I have ability to hear, speak and an option, I would choose call everytime unless I don’t feel like interrupt whoever is at the other side. What most people forgot is that I hardly ever get a meaningful deep conversation so I don’t enjoy small talk and prefer to get to the point, it seems to me dudes have more problem with that than women do. I had to push them away from me, if that mean I’m being called a dick for do this again then so be it.

On the other hand, I have problem with texting for one particular reason, I need to rely on verbal communication so not to trigger any confusion and tension. This is why I don’t do sexting, pretty much of it is nothing but guesswork.

You are not alone on that @SilentRoar…

Perhaps I would be more into texting if it were not the case. It just seems too sterile to me. Maybe if I dated or whatever, I would do it. I know females have their damn phones glued to their f~~~ing hands.

I guess that is one of the other reasons I don’t care much for it. It doesn’t really do anything for me to think about if I am texting guy number 3 today, or number 20, if I were to entertain the thought of texting a female.

As for texting a guy, why? I would rather sit around hanging out talking, gaming, drinking, fishing, or any f~~~ing thing at all, instead of texting him, lol.

F~~~’s sake, man, it takes you twenty minutes to speak 160 characters of text?

Learn to tell people: “Gotta go. Goodbye.” And then hang the f~~~ up.

I was in Europe for 2 month where my provider didn’t have roaming – so my phone was off – I bought a local rechargeable SIM card to use there.

I didn’t get a single text and only 2 robocall voicemails.
I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing, but it showed me how different I am from the rest of the people I know. If I was a woman – I’d probably get depressed and cry into my pillow every night: “Nobody loves me, whaaaa”. I couldn’t care less – it was great

To be fair, all of my friends din’t bother because they knew where I was

Stop replying and there will be no problem.

That the phone have this and that function is a boon. How you use it, how your set boundaries with people determine your experience.

There is no magic in MGTOW, just recognition of the truth and logical decision how to avoid dangers. The red pill is but the truth, it is no magical potion. Do not think in this modern world men have no longer have natural enemies, men are prey to women and government.
